Figured I should probably throw up a new backlog update post since it’s been almost over a month now since my last one, and I’ve made some good progress. Here’s how my stats are looking now: The thing I’ve been pretty good at lately is keeping myself far away from the temptation and allure of…

Backloggin’ – 19/08/2012
Oh yeah, big accomplishments since my last update. I knocked out the biggest and baddest contender on my backlog, which I’ll get into in a bit. But first… Hard Difficulty / ~3 hours played Rage (or is it RAGE? I can never tell with these stylized logos) is one of the few remaining FPS games…
Backloggin’ – 03/08/2012
Okay, so here I am for this week’s update, on-time and on-top of things! Ideally, I’d like to put out a weekly update Friday or somewhat close to Friday, but I know I won’t always be able to adhere to that. But, whatever. Here’s what I’ve been up to in video games. Time: ~26 hours…
Backloggin’ – 26/07/2012
Man, it’s been far too long since my last update – almost a whole month! I’ve been working a lot lately with my summer job and all, but I’ve still had time to play video games – just not as much as I’d like, ideally. Since it’s been so long though, I don’t think I…
Backloggin’ – 02/07/2012
The fantastic, statistical/social addiction that is The Backloggery continues to motivate me as I work through my collection of unfinished games. Seriously, I have never felt so compelled to finish every game I own. There is something so satisfying about changing a game from “unfinished” to “beaten” – or possibly even “complete” if enough time was…
In Defense of the Shooter Genre
Watch Dogs had me interested until the guns came out. Like, why is it always necessary? There was such a great buildup in hacking devices I thought that if there was combat it’d involve taking advantage of devices, almost in a puzzle solving way like Ghost Trick. Aren’t people tired of taking cover and shooting…
Max Payne 3’s campaign – how is it?
Max Payne 3 released yesterday on Steam, and I ended up playing and finishing the whole thing from when I got home until I went to bed. Yup, that good. It took me about 8 hours total, which was a similar length to the first game, actually – but nowhere near the 12 hour mark that…
Backloggery – the perfect solution for TOO MANY GAMES!
I own way too many games – and while yes, it’s quite possible that one cannot ever have enough games, the temptation to continue buying new ones sure does start to seem questionable when you’ve amassed a pile of titles you have yet to finish, or possibly haven’t started at all. I wouldn’t consider having…
